December 18, 2024 In-person and zoom

Jefferson Park Neighborhood Association Meeting, December 18, 2024, 6:00 pm, Ward III Office
Facilitator – Micheal Hailey; Zoom facilitator – Colleen Nichols
Attendees – Colleen Nichols, Jeanne Calhoun, Laurel-Heather Milden, Bob Schlanger, Jon Heine, Erin Posthumus (minutes), Ricardo Pereyda, Micheal Hailey, Eileen Ratajczak; on zoom – Rosemary Bolza, Lisa Jones
Guests – Peter Williams, Keith Bagwell, Marlene Avelino (zoom)
Excused – Cindy Doklan, Joan Daniels, Trish Gehlen, Judy Janson

Keith Bagwell – Pima Co approved MOU with USFWS for the urban National Wildlife Refuge on the Santa Cruz River; working on Strategic Plan for homelessness issues, including transition center for people coming out of jail; there will be public meetings in the spring on the libraries, no longer considering the closures of the four libraries (not without public process)
Marlene Avelino –has been with Kevin Dahl since the beginning of his term; she does constituent services and will be our liaison to Ward III, taking over from CJ Boyd; she is hoping to attend the next meeting in person; noted that Kevin’s neighborhood Samos is also in the process of updating and removing the racist covenants as well

GUEST SPEAKER - Peter Williams, Chair San Carlos NA, 1926 Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&R)

San Carlos is neighborhood at Grant and Swan, has about 77 homes; they have been able to modify their CC&Rs to remove racial covenants; worked with Jason Jurjevich, professor at UA
There was an era after WWII when judges ruled government couldn’t prevent where people live based on race, but a CC&R (which is private) could do so
The Civil Rights Act modification in 1964 and the Fair Housing Act removed the enforcement of these covenants, but many neighborhoods still have the CC&R in Tucson (using language preventing people of African or Asian descent)
After San Carlos neighborhood amended their CC&Rs, Tucson adopted this as a law, at parcel level. They were able to do it at the neighborhood level for a fee of $30, took about 8 hours of time to do it. This might be an option for JPNA but we’ll need to get consent from each neighbor that wants to do this
JPNA’s By Laws says that NA is working on behalf of the neighborhood but doesn’t say who has authority over the CC&Rs. We also don’t have a perpetuity clause for the racist language.
In JP, CC&Rs were placed in 1926, then Cattle Company purchased the lots in the 30s and made the CC&Rs effective in perpetuity
Once the AZ legislature is back in session, Peter plans to go to them and help them understand the problem, thinks there has been some progress with Pima Co recorder where they could have multiple parcels changed with one filing fee
Could we amend our JPNA By Laws? This would be possible with a meeting where we acknowledge all neighbors who attend the meeting, get their input. Need to put out a notice first before the meeting, get City to accept it
Keith Bagwell offered to talk with Pima County Recorder, District 5 office to see if they can help
UofA is actually part of our CC&R because they have incorporated part of the neighborhood into their ownership, we could talk with Julie Katsel about this
Decided to have a Committee to explore this further – Jeanne Calhoun, Eileen Ratajczak, Ricardo Pereyda

Hoping to have a garden tour in JP in April to coincide with this, highlight sustainability features in the neighborhood, highlight the IST garden. Andrew Wild Center is sponsoring this effort.
We need a committee for the plant sale that can work on other things besides just growing the plants, like washing pots, making signs, etc. Let Laurel-Heather Milden know if you want to be on the committee. Ricardo Pereyda is interested.

SPEAKER – Rory Juneman - CAP project at Campbell/Speedway

Rory is a real estate lawyer with Lazarus & Silvyn P.C, they help projects with zoning approval

In 2014, University Area Plan was amended for the Helen-Warren Station Area (with new street car)
In 2018, Speedway and Campbell Gateway project PAD (planned area development) was approved by Mayor and Council
They have received approval for up to 20 stories, it will be 19 stories, 200 feet high, high density residential
Originally was more office space, retail, the demand for that has decreased since COVID; likelihood of grocery store is low, maybe restaurant or two, small retail
Parking on ground floor for retail (55 spaces); 4 levels of residential parking; only vehicle access is from Speedway; designed for pedestrian access from street car, bikes; public meeting plaza on NE corner
There is a strip of land on the east side of the property still owned by UA, may be used for some landscaping; planning to plant shade trees along Speedway, Campbell, and Helen
No solar planned for the project, but will include shade trees where possible, water harvesting
Permits should be given in December, then breaking ground next summer, will be a 2+ year project
397 units, apartments will be 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-bedroom units (but rented by the unit, not the bedroom as individual units), 400 – 1300 sq feet; about 1000 people total, 318 parking spaces
They talked to Christian from Banner about the helicopter access, Christian said the helicopters should be about 2500 feet at the point they cross over the highest part of the building so not an issue
Colleen asked how they will ensure that retail doesn’t stay vacant and turn into nuisance properties, they said their parking options should help with that
Plan for construction parking – will partner with UA on that, they are still figuring that out, usually will find parking options farther away and bus people in
If you have more questions, send to Trish and she will relay these to Rory

3) AD Hoc Committees
·   Banner - (Joan Daniels) helicopter meeting: Tue 11/12/2024 1 - 2:00 PM. See E-news or website for zoom link. We need to be strict on exit flights over the neighborhood.
·   Traffic Advisory (Cindy Doklan)

Funding: Tucson Clean & Beautiful is not available to us since we have too high of green canopy score for their cutoff (however they will do design, bidding, project management). Will have to count on round 2 of mini grant, or our own funds.
Change of mitigation for Seneca/Santa Rita from Circle to Chicane: chicanes slow traffic by narrowing the road, also collect water; cost = $30k for circle vs $24k for 2 chicanes, also we can plant a tree in chicanes (can’t put tree in a circle at this intersection due to manhole); Jesse is figuring out the design, which side of the road chicanes would go on. Maybe we don’t need to pay for plants, since we have so many?
Need more traffic circle gardeners/owners. Maybe meet to make a plan to involve renters/students. Laurel-Heather is willing to do the one at Edison and Hampton on the west side of the neighborhood starting in December and will look for neighbors to help. If a tree is blocking a stop sign you can call the City and they will remove the branches and remove the cuttings.
Streets status – Jim DeGroot said he’s getting bids, should have a schedule in January.

Julie Katsel: suspect in campus shooting was captured today and taken into custody; Heard from N University that they would like more convo about Mountain and Helen intersection; there is not a formal red tag unit, but one officer that is part of the detective unit, that officer now has a community officer working with her; the more people who call 911 the more likely an officer is to come; if a red tag can’t be issued during the event, it can still be issued in the days following; University has a parallel system to the city’s, if they can figure out the identity of the students then they can be subject to the University’s code of conduct; if we have volunteer opportunities, send them to Julie and she can post for fraternities and sororities that need the hours.

Independent oversight and accountability meeting (project 411, aka repaving) quick update. Target is first quarter of 2025 pending the water issue on Edison. Water lines need to be fixed first. Jim DeGroot is going to personally manage our area.
Park Tucson earned funds - see treasurer’s report. We will still get what we have been getting in past years.
Mitigation at Helen/Mountain needs more work. Will be a protected bike line within the year - Helen to Ft Lowell

Green Committee - (Micheal Hailey) November Days of Caring, Saturday, Nov 2, passed on all the info to Joan for the e-News. Rosemary is the only person who has RSVPed so far, could use a lot more help!
Central Segments Safety (Rosemary Bolza) Talked to Officer Alexander about 311 for reporting trash, potholes, weeds, etc; best used as an app (look for Tucson 311), better than calling as you can submit photos; Tucson police also has a fraud unit, can help if you have been hacked, call 911 for that; Emergency preparedness month– keep a gallon of water p/p per day, also a go bag with prescriptions, emergency phone numbers, cash, hand sanitizer, gloves
Grant Rd Coalition - (Joan Daniels) -no report
Red Tags - (Colleen Nichols) one in June, quiet otherwise; Julie’s Office of Public Safety is also working to get those reports
Land Use– (Trish Gehlen) Accessory Dwelling Units Planning Commission meeting 9/24. 4 state laws passed, we are dealing with 3 right now. We need to adopt these changes or there will be NO codes

Zoning application timeline – applies to rezoning and special exceptions (including TEP power lines), not a lot of change to code other than a change to the timeline of 30 days to get approved, then 180 days to go through to Mayor and council and then approved or denied;
ADU law needs to be amended by Jan; 2 per lot, attached or detached, if an acre or more allowed 3; up to 75% of primary structure up to 1000 sq ft; will allow ADU up to 25 ft high even if house is single story; no parking onsite required; rear and side setbacks no more than 5 ft
Other items - Max lot coverage of buildings is still 70%; Still only 4 unrelated people allowed in a home; ADUs are still not allowed in the front yard; If you have a small house, that can become the ADU and you can build a larger house in the back

4) Liaisons to the Community

IST - International School Rep Report (Colleen Nichols) – school starts next Thurs, Aug. Lots of activities next week so it’ll be busy there; TUSD is not going to sell the property to them for at least 5 years, so they are still looking for an additional campus.
Tucson Electric Power (TEP) Line Siting outcome - (Colleen Nichols) Line Siting Committee (LSC) from Arizona Corporation Committee (ACC) held 10 days of hearings at the DoubleTree (lengthiest case they’ve ever had); we had someone there every day from the undergrounding coalition; LSC listens to all info including the Certificate for Environmental Compatibility TEP has submitted with all their routes, the LSC also went to all of the routes in person and all the substation locations; Dan Dempsey was our representative there at the table, helped LSC see that undergrounding is viable, there is plenty of precedent for undergrounding; now it goes before the ACC, could happen any time after Aug 13, but likely later than that. Good to emphasize safety concerns in comments (e.g. large poles are a safety concern if they fall in large storms).
TEP Substation process - TEP’s next step is to apply for special exception permit for the substation (ACC has no jurisdiction over that property or process), so will go through a separate process open to the public. This area is part of the UA Area Plan, which calls for undergrounding of new lines (this is our best bet as neighborhoods are not covered by the rules for undergrounding in the Gateway Corridor); The UA is the largest consumer of power in the center of the city.

6) Friends of Jefferson Park (Joan Daniels) - no report
7) Area Representatives Reports – no report

Ward III Report (CJ Boyd)

Change in BiFusion plastic recycling; it’s been too popular and they can’t take all our plastic at the CA facility; City decided to go with Hefty, which has a different program where you can put the same kind of plastic in one of their orange bags and they’ll take it, turn it into blocks or other things; as of July 1st, you have to buy their orange bags (which funds the program) and use those for the hard to recycle plastics; CJ still saying we’ll get our own BiFusion facility, eventually; Lisa said Fry’s is supposed to have them by this Saturday, you can also buy them online, or get one free bag on the Hefty website; remember that overall the goal should be to try to use less plastic; you can still put 1, 2, 5 plastics in the blue bin, that is a better solution.
Working with Tucson Mesh, provides free, or ‘pay what you can’ internet; they are close to formalizing a partnership with Tucson House, which is tall and would give them line of site connection with satellite.

TPD Report (Matt Alexander)
Neighborhood has been quiet – one larceny (theft, not from a house), one DUI, one traffic accident in the neighborhood (he doesn’t have info on where; Cindy asked for aggregate data on accidents for Traffic Committee); does not include thefts from the Dollar Store; Zac asked about TPD website with a Crime Map, seems to be missing from website? Matt will look into it; about to do a big annual shift change with new officers on July 14th so we might see new officers in the neighborhood.
Pima County (Keith Bagwell)
New heat ordinance for workers outside, working on details about how this will be enforced; also working on new tobacco and vaping ordinance that would raise the minimum age from 18 to 21 and for vaping retailers would have to get license from the county; county budget is slightly higher this year, but tax rate is stable (slight increase from property values and construction); they are cutting about 2% of each department.
Park Tucson (Tom Janowicz)
Will require 25% of permits sold for each permit area; we and 11 other neighborhoods are currently at less than that (only 4 neighborhoods are above that limit); that means the neighborhoods will no longer get funds from Park Tucson; RPP needs to be operating with at least a $4k surplus to continue the program; Cindy suggested another scenario where they could cap the distribution in each year, Tom will bring that up at the next meeting; JPNA had 200 tickets issued since Jan; Jeanne asked if we can get this info in writing as it’s very complicated and his audio was difficult to hear during meeting; Cindy will circulate the pdf to the board; Tom will let us know when the commission is going to meet.

Ward 3 Report: (CJ Boyd)
(A) Midtown Reliability project. Ward 3 had a meeting with TEP yesterday. TEP has selected a preferred route that will be presented to the Line Siting Committee: Grant to Park, Park to Adams, Adams to Vine, Vine to Chauncey. No small streets in Jefferson Park. Q: Will Ward 3 weigh in on this option? A concern that Park is a residential street; why not Euclid. Consider moving substation to a different location not in a neighborhood. Also, continue to want the line to be undergrounded. A: CJ will bring that perspective to Kevin Dahl. Meanwhile, be sure to speak up during the public hearing that TEP must have on this issue. We can voice our opinion on the selected route (with docket number).
(B) Pool hours drastically reduced; 63% of hours. Kevin voted against Tucson budget for that reason. Less state share revenue- Legislature passed a flat tax, which will result in $$M less for each municipality. Challenges this year- will have to cut city services.
(C) Walmart on First and Wetmore wants to expand, but this goes against the big box ordinance. Let your reps know if you oppose this. Neighbors nearby want the expansion due to the lack of grocery stores in the area.
Pima County Report: (Keith Bagwell)

$1.7B County budget passes. Tax rate stays the same. Waiting on the state legislature’s budget- they are cutting budgets of cities.
Passed a Heat Awareness Resolution. Heat protection plans needed for county workers and others. County plan will be complete on June 4th. Educational campaign. City of Phoenix already passed an ordinance requiring heat plans for all their workers and contractors.
Asylum seekers transportation program will continue- received some budget from the Feds. Numbers of asylum seekers are decreasing, so this funding should last to the end of the year.
Approved resolution in support of expanding Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge.
Period poverty awareness week. Collecting donations here in Ward 3 office.

UA Report: (Julie Katzel)

UA Volunteer program run in partnership with Banner. All student-run. This group of students not interested in participating. There is an alternate way to get volunteers to assist neighborhoods: United Way Days of Caring- we can submit projects to this organization instead. November 1-2 are the days of the project work. Submit your projects by August 16th. Can also apply to Fraternities/Sororities for service work. They are required to do projects.
10,000 students in dorms move out every summer- collect leftover food, clothes, etc. 15,000 students living in apartments- for the first time, Julie’s staff has organized a collection of their food/clothes to go to nonprofits. Lots of leftovers! Will try to get this done every year.
North University Neighborhood Association reached out to Ward 6 to request a meeting re: Mountain and Helen. UA parking and transportation rep will engage on traffic calming discussion.

1) Business Meeting

Approve April minutes – Motion made by Laurel Heather, Second Bob. Passed. Minutes approved.
Treasurer's Report (Laurel Heather Milden): Checking account $13,256; Savings account $2583, CD $10,082. last month we received $15 dues. Bought gift card for Linda who worked on plant sale so hard despite the fact that she lives outside of Jefferson Park. Plant sale total: $10,643. Huge thank you to Laurel Heather for all her work and enthusiasm in getting another fantastic sale accomplished- and it’s another record amount!!
PayPal account donations- Laurel Heather needs Bob’s help to get access to this account.

2) Standing Committees

Communications Committee –J Daniels
Main Gate Square merchants contacted us and would like to advertise in our neighborhood. Historically, if entities donate to us, we recognized them in E-news. Do we want to allow advertising in our newsletter and if so, how much should we charge? Sam Hughes has advertisers on their website. Garden District charges $120/year for business card size ads.
Discussion: We need to negotiate with Main Gate Square. Would save us money and support the newsletter. Should ensure that the newsletter isn’t overwhelmed. Our e-news goes to 372 people. Motion made by Colleen: Accept advertising to include in JP newsletter. Seconded by Rosemary. 10 voted yes, motion passes. Details to be determined.

3) AD Hoc Committees

Banner - (J. Daniels) Helicopter reports, see E-news. Approximately 25% of all flights are non-compliant. We need to monitor the flights- this is a high percentage of flights that go over our neighborhood. Please call when they fly over or near your house.
Traffic Advisory (C. Doklan- not present) Park Tucson Permit changes.
Clean Committee - (Joanne Osuna/Miguel Puig- not present) storing equipment. Parklet now has a tent and there was a fire. Owned by DOT.
Green Committee-(M. Hailey-not present) April 27, weed pull. Meeting with Corey Martinez, Park Supervisor, requested. Motion made by Joan Daniels: Request that the JPNA board reimburse the Green Committee the cost of water, bags, gloves, etc. for future clean ups. Up to $100. Seconded by Colleen. 10 yes, motion passes.
Safety Committee (R.Bolza). Rosemary met with the TPD representatives for our neighborhood. Let her know if we have any issues to report. There will be another safety meeting next month.
Grant Rd Coalition - (J. Daniels) Grant Road 5/6 /2026. Grant Road Coalition met May 9. Won’t meet over the summer. Issue- no funding for land remnants to have landscaping. We will have to work with RTA and City to get funding for green space. Traffic will get closer to JP, so will get noisier- can we get funding for a wall? Need to do a sound study.
Red Tags - (C. Nichols) Wrote Sgt Alexander at TPD since we haven’t been getting any reports. Each month Colleen has to request reports from TPD- records request. CJ says they should send these out as a matter of course; Kevin is very supportive of requiring these. Julie Katzel is also really supportive- that way the UA can cite the students. It is a TPD capacity issue. Perhaps they could have an intern pull these reports.
Land Use– (Trish Gehlen) please report suspected construction w/o permits to [email protected]. Can help people if there is construction, she can contact the city for folks. She doesn’t want to be the only one with her name on the complaints.

4) Liaisons to the Community

IST - International School Rep Report (C. Nichols) School is out tomorrow. One week break, then summer school starts. They are seeking to purchase the school and land from TUSD rather than leasing it. A concern: as long as TUSD owns this, they are exempt from city zoning rules. If IST acquires this school, they will have to comply with the city zoning rules. Insufficient parking spaces, modular units may be problematic. IST should be made aware that this could be an issue- they are aware.
TEP Tucson Electric Power- (C. Nichols) Stay tuned. See if TEP filed their proposed route. Hearing will be at Doubletree in mid-July
CCRC - (R. Bolza) No news.

5) Lend a Hand – (Lisa Jones-absent) No update
6) Friends of Jefferson Park (J. Daniels)
Park/Grant Sign installed May 10. Funds-Alan Huerta donated for Minette. Backing for letters?
7) Area Representatives Reports- no news
8) New Business

JUNE 1 meeting TRRG - Tucson Residents for Responsible Government- (R. Bolsa). This entity is evolving to be an advocate for neighborhoods. Someone from JP could be our rep. June 1st celebration to welcome new Ward 6 representative.
Project update - Campbell Monument Sign -waiting for Carly Quinn; behind on the tiles.
Project Update- Plant Sale report: A success! Over $10K earned. Still about 50 plants left- selling them on the honor system. We could have better signage next year. We might get business cards with information about the plant sale. We also need to have volunteers stay late- people keep coming well after 2pm! Could use more help at the end of the sale. Could have a checkout station. Instead of putting out the plants on Friday morning, why not put them out on Thursday night. More signs to identify the plants- need people to help with this.

- Ward 3 (CJ Boyd) – lots of donations for Wildcat Inn; cooling center happening again this summer in coordination with St Francis, they will be there up to 5pm then we can set up for meeting; starting mobile showers and haircuts for unhoused people a couple times a week at the Ward III office starting mid-May through the summer
- Pima County (Adelita Grijalva) receiving 2.1 M to provide for asylum seekers that get dropped off in Tucson; AZ house voted to repeal 1864 law; Pima county is currently having budget issues, all offices taking 2% hit, shouldn’t result in loss of jobs; public study session May 7th about the budget; Chris Ackerly serving out Treasurer’s term; auto-closure of some positions that have been vacant over 240 days.
SPEAKER - Tom Janowicz of Park Tucson
- Started position in Jan, came from LA, UA grad; they are hiring more parking service agents right now, should be able to respond to more calls
- Reaching out to neighborhoods to get info, feedback on Park Tucson plans (main focus Grant to 22nd, Country Club to Grande), will take these to Park Tucson Commission
- Permits are currently $48 per year for JP, we get 9% of this accumulated in an account each year (no revenue from tickets); Park Tucson has to make the first $5000/year, once that is reached the neighborhood begins to accumulate money. Once the neighborhood has accumulated $4000 it can begin to draw money (up to $10k) for projects including right of way improvements; this is an incentive to get neighborhoods to enroll in permit program
- last speed bump was $6300 ($3983 paid by Park Tucson)
- March 26th –voted for a new 25% participation level threshold. We currently have 826 potential permit spots in JP, only 80 permits have been purchased; he’s received feedback from a couple neighborhoods, including JP, that they should nix the 25%, or subtract driveways from the 826 denominator; also, a block with no purchased permits can petition out of the program (another way to reduce the denominator)
- With purchase of permit, get one free visitor pass, one paid one at same price as permit; permits are only for your permitted area (you can’t park at another location in the neighborhood); we have $5421 in our account currently, all JP blocks are eligible to apply; you can call Park Tucson anytime to let them know that you have people over, to “stay away”
- Park Tucson will honor any agreed upon disbursements up until new rules apply.
- IST is renting from TUSD, can request no parking areas around the school

Rosemary Bolza, Zac Lacy, Jon Heine, Mary Alexander, Tom Tobin, Micheal Hailey, Laurel-
Heather Milden, Jeanne Calhoun, Joan Daniels, Cindy Doklan, Miguel Puig, Erin Posthumus

calendar year
2) Standing Committees
• Communications Committee – no report
• Program Committee – quarterly meeting next month
• Nominating Committee – no report
3) AD Hoc Committees
• Banner - (Daniels) they’ve set up meetings for the next year; please call in helicopter flights
over the neighborhood!
• Traffic Advisory (C. Doklan)

Santa Rita Edison/Grant speed bump is no longer needed, so taking that off the projectlist.
Waverly and Vine 4-way stop was denied b/c it requires a traffic study
Cindy asked for a traffic study for the Jefferson Park area, was told that the Grant Road

project is supposed to have a traffic study, so DTM misunderstood the request. Colleen
says the Grant Road study will only go one block into the neighborhood.

For permitting on Vine south of Waverly, the owner of that house on the SW corner

needs to submit request. City committed to have the curb painted by mid-April.

Park Tucson Funds: Tom Janowitz (new person in charge of Park Tucson) said that we

need a certain percentage (25%) of neighborhood permitted to get any money from
Park Tucson. Due to our numbers, we shouldn’t have been getting money from them in
the past; Colleen said that the statistics (of 800+ homes) may be incorrect as there are
sections where no permits are allowed. Park Tucson needs to determine 25% of the
homes that qualify for permits, rather than the entire neighborhood.

Next step - Cindy is planning to get traffic committee meeting set up, invite Janowitz and

Soto, also invite them to a JPNA meeting.
Clean Committee - (J. Osuna) – need to have someone substitute for Joanne for the next few
months: Miguel Puig (resident at Edison and Martin) volunteered.
Central Segments Safety Meeting (R. Bolza) Pre-Meeting with Lt. Alexander– if there is a
crime, call 911; anything submitted online won’t be addressed for months; 311 is for other
issues like car accident debris, downed tree limbs, weeds; requested that we start getting red
tags again on a timely basis; Tucson budget is being developed; Rosemary will draft a board
letter requesting that Tucson PD gets more funding.
Grant Rd Coalition - (J Daniels) Meeting sometime soon; need to start planning for linear
parks for Phase 5/6 now since it took years to get the Heritage Park; there is a State Park
grant for linear parks, need to get TDOT, TCB, Banner to all support.
Red Tags - (C. Nichols) 911 operator had been putting calls through to a voicemail and we
weren’t getting accurate or timely reports; we should be getting more reports now that the calls
are going through.
Land Use– (T. Gehlen) two houses at Park and Waverly with construction (we only found out
after NPZ was approved), it still needs to go through zoning review, but it doesn’t meet the
setback on Park; we’re getting our first ADU on Waverly off frontage road but they don’t have a
permit yet; please report suspected construction w/o permits to [email protected]
4-Liaisons to the Community

IST - International School Rep Report (C. Nichols) – consider new representative, no report• TEP Tucson Electric Power- (C. Nichols) public meeting tomorrow, but Colleen recommends

instead submitting an online comment to TEP; new development - Schwartz and Dempsey
have been talking with the City of Tucson attorneys about the University Area Plan, which
might have some legal bearing to help with undergrounding (Colleen to send out email on this);
Sam Hughes does not have funding for attorney, so coalition is looking into forming a 501c3
and going in front of the ACC; the letters we’ve already submitted for the former project will no
longer go to the ACC since it’s now a new project, so we need to re-submit those.

CCRC - (R. Bolza) 88 Crime is not the place to report but use if you have info about a crime

Absent: Tom Tobin, Bob Schlanger  Excused: Judy Jansen
Guests:
TEP: Adding/increasing the size of the substation allows for a higher capacity. If brown outs occur then can coordinate with other substations to deal with the brown outs. Serve more customers. Goals: Retire 8 46K volt poles, 19 miles of 46KV sub transmission lines. To replace it will cost the same amount of $ as a new project, it is better to do the new project.
Vine Substation: TEP will be asking for a special exception permit, probably in late 2024, but must wait until they have identified a route. There has been quite a bit of discussion about moving the substation, and JP is advocating for that.
TEP has been looking for other locations but needs the location to be near the” load center”. They have looked at 10 properties. It was suggested to look at 1st and Grant but TEP said that it is too far away from the load center. Three sites were suggested after the Neighborhood Advisory Group met. Some of those sites had already been investigated. The Adams and Park location was suggested but UA would have to agree to sell the land. Questions/Suggestions from the attendees: A JP neighbor suggested Catalina Theater area and another neighbor reminded that we need to consider the Grant Rd. 5/6 project. How far from the load center can the substation be? TEP promised to have that information for the following day’s community meeting.

CJ Boyd, Ward 3: Wildcat Inn is getting a great amount of donations. December 9th there will be an event at the La Madera Park, 10am-12pm. The goal is to see if the neighborhood might start a Neighborhood Association.
